Sure, it's gerrymandering. How do you represent the boutique interests of a rorschach image? But it's our fault too. Rarely are people punished for being a shit rep, by either party. It occasionally happens with Democrats. Never among Republicans. -OS
But Democratic voters vote for reps based on a menu of national policy stances. We do. Because at least we care somewhat about policy. But we still shove local interests into the back seat. -OS
But Republicans are worse. Republican voters have fully accepted that their Rep is a vote for some private equity concern that's probably engaged in dismantling the very district where they live. Which is why Republicans will happily vote a carpetbagging dumbass in anywhere. -OS
yes, very bad voters on a number of levels, it can't be fixed except by time?
